Fourth Sunday of Easter
April 17, 2016
“I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation
to the ends of the earth.”
— Acts 13:47b
Today we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Easter. It is also known as Good Shepherd Sunday or Vocation Sunday.
Let us pray for one another, especially for our young people, that they know how to listen to the voice of the Good
Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We also pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life as well the
permanent deaconate. May we listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd and respond generously to his call.
Today we, the financial council, are happy to report the financial state of the parish for this past year of 2015. We
are very grateful for your sense of stewardship towards the parish as well as the diocese.
May the good Lord bless and reward you abundantly. If you have any questions or concerns please contact one of
the members of the Finance Council.
In Divine Mercy and Peace,
Father Tom

A Very
Special
Thank you
As we celebrate great joy during our Easter Season, I
wanted to send out a special joy filled Thank Y ou to
Gene Jaskot a long time parishioner who volunteers a ton
of time at our church. He donated his time to make a
special St. Felicitas Preschool sign for us that matches
the rest of our signs. So I would say that makes it
official!

Chúa Nhật 4 Phục Sinh Cầu cho Ơn Thiên Triệu - Phúc Âm: Ga 10, 27-30
Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu phán rằng: "Chiên Ta thì nghe tiếng Ta, Ta biết chúng và chúng theo Ta. Ta cho chúng được sống đời
đời; chúng sẽ không bao giờ hư mất, và không ai có thể cướp được chúng khỏi tay Ta. Ðiều mà Cha Ta ban cho Ta, thì cao
trọng hơn tất cả, và không ai có thể cướp được khỏi tay Cha Ta. Ta và Cha Ta là một".
NGHE CHÚA, BIẾT CHÚA VÀ THEO CHÚA ĐỂ ĐƯỢC NHỮNG GÌ ?:
Như bầy chiên đi trên những đồi núi đến những cánh đồng cỏ xanh tươi, đến những suối nước mát trong lành để ăn cỏ, uống
nước và nghỉ ngơi. Tất cả những con chiên trong đàn đều lắng nghe tiếng chủ chăn dắt, biết rõ lệnh của chủ và đi theo sự
hướng dẫn của chủ. Thiên Chúa là vị mục tử duy nhất, nhân hậu đã trả lời cho những ai muốn đi theo Người:” Tôi ban cho
chúng sự sống đời đời; không bao giờ chúng phải diệt vong và không ai cướp được chúng khỏi tay tôi”( Ga 10, 28 ).
MỖI NGƯỜI CHÚNG TA ĐƯỢC MỜI GỌI YÊU MẾN CHỦ CHIÊN:
Thiên Chúa là Cha tình thương đã trao cho Con của Ngài là Đức Giêsu đòan chiên yêu quý. Chúa Giêsu đã yêu thương đòan
chiên của mình như Chúa Cha đã yêu thương từng con chiên. Bổn phận của mỗi người chúng ta là phải yêu mến, tôn kính và
hiếu thảo với Chúa Cha và Chúa Con. Đức Giáo Hòang, các Giám Mục, các Linh Mục là những vị lãnh đạo tôn giáo Chúa
trao ban sứ mạng coi sóc đòan chiên của Chúa dưới trần gian này. Chúng ta phải hết lòng tôn kính, mến yêu và cầu nguyện
cho các Ngài. Đặc biệt các Cha Sở và Cha phó là những vị mục tử trực tiếp coi sóc đòan chiên của Giáo Xứ. Các Ngài luôn
muốn đòan chiên và từng con chiên của mình được ăn uống no nê để có sức phục vụ và sống tốt đẹp làm tôi Chúa. Chúng ta
phải hết lòng yêu mến, hiếu thảo, giúp đỡ các Ngài và cầu nguyện cho các Ngài
Hôm nay là ngày cầu xin ơn Thiên Triệu, chúng ta sốt sắng cầu nguyện xin Chúa ban cho có nhiều thanh niên, nam nữ quảng
đại dấn thân tận hiến cho Chúa trong sứ mạng mục tử coi sóc đàn chiên và sứ mạng làm chứng cho Chúa trong đời sống tu
dòng.

Hechos 13:14, 43—52 / Salmo 99:1—2, 3, 5 / Apocalipsis 7:9, 14—17 / Juan 10:27—30
Un juego de niños popular en los Estados Unidos es Follow the Leader
(Sigan al líder) y puede ser muy divertido, dependiendo de cómo dirija el
líder. Si el líder dirige a sus seguidores por entre matorrales enredados,
saltando cercas, por donde hay ramas caídas y por donde hay perros ladrando,
empeñándose en perder y disuadir a los otros jugadores, éstos tienden a darse
por vencidos al sentirse cobardes, tristes o débiles. Por otro lado, si el líder le
abre el camino a los demás, los anima y guía, los seguidores terminarán el
juego sintiéndose confiados y alegres.
Las Escrituras que se leen hoy muestran a Cristo como esa última clase de
líder, que nos dirige mientras seca nuestras lágrimas. Él es un pastor que nos anima y nos lleva
desde el sufrimiento hacia el agua viva. Pablo y Bernabé lo siguen gozosamente convirtiéndose
ellos mismos en líderes semejantes a Cristo. Ellos animan a sus seguidores y les facilitan el camino
a través de cualquier congoja que pudieran encontrar en el camino. De la misma manera, los
discípulos que siguen a Cristo deben convertirse en líderes que comparten con los demás la
valentía, la confianza y el gozo que ellos han encontrado por seguir a Cristo.

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
El pasaje del Apocalipsis habla de
“una multitud enorme”, “gentes de
toda nación… [que] vestían de
blanco” (7:9). Esto se refiere a todos
los que se han revestido de Cristo
en el bautismo. Aquellos que se
revisten de Cristo sufrirán como
Cristo sufrió. El sufrimiento vendrá
para todos los que hemos escogido
seguir a nuestro pastor y líder.

Pope Francis marked the beginning of the Church’s Lenten journey
by sending off several hundred religious and diocesan priests on their
own special path as “missionaries of mercy” in local parishes.
Father Mark received the Pope’s mandate to preach about God’s
mercy. The Pope said his mandate is to be “signs and instruments of
God’s pardon.” His mission is to be an ambassador for Christ.
